About Kelli
Kelli Bouscher is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who blends practical tools with a calm, direct style. She focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety, address addictions, and improve relationship patterns. Kelli aims to make therapy feel manageable and focused on real change.
Kelli draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape work with clients. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior techniques help with emotion regulation and coping during hard moments. The Gottman Method guides her when addressing relationship patterns and communication habits. Clients can expect conversations that move from understanding struggles to building small, repeatable skills.
Kelli emphasizes strengthening self-awareness and resilience. She helps people notice patterns tied to family of origin, attachment wounds, and abandonment issues so they can choose different responses. She also works with concerns tied to trauma and abuse, dissociation, codependency, and substance use.
Kelli addresses specific difficulties such as commitment issues, communication problems, body image, emptiness, and co-occurring mental health challenges. Her approach balances practical strategies with support for emotional processing. Kelli has nine years of clinical experience and holds a California LMFT license.
She offers sessions in English and provides multiple remote formats to fit busy lives. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Online support
How relationship-focused and online therapy work together
Online sessions can include methods that focus on thoughts, emotions, and relationships. The Gottman Method looks at how partners communicate and manage conflict, and it can point to small, practical changes that improve day-to-day interactions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and distance rooted in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises to reduce anxiety and break negative cycles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship skills, attachment understanding, or thought-focused tools and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow visual cues and real-time interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or moments of support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical, achievable progress.
